Hedo Turkoglu scored 31 points, Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis had 23 each, and the Orlando Magic completed a perfect four-game West Coast trip with a 106-88 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.

Dwight Howard had 14 points and 20 rebounds to help the Magic win its seventh straight and ninth in 10 games. It was Howard’s second straight 20-rebound game.

Orlando (33-8) has the most wins in the NBA and is percentage points behind Cleveland for first overall in the Eastern Conference. The Magic beat all three Western Conference division leaders on the trip.

Orlando, which beat the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night, showed no signs of fatigue against the Nuggets. The Magic led by nine after three and extended the lead to six at 85-71 with consecutive three-pointers from Turkoglu and Courtney Lee with 10:01 left. Denver got no closer than 12 points the rest of the way.

Turkoglu took over in the third quarter, scoring 12 points, including a three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Magic a 79-70 lead heading into the fourth.

Rockets 93, Heat 86: Yao Ming set a Houston record by going 12 for 12 from the field, finishing with 26 points and 10 rebounds in the Rockets’ victory over visiting Miami.

“I was able to get the ball in the post and I had energy,” said Yao, who eclipsed Joe Meriweather’s 10-for-10 game against Atlanta in 1976.

Yao spun inside for a layup with 2:47 left, then hit a mid-range jumper in the final minute to end his night. He joked that he might have passed on those attempts if he was aware of the record.

“If I’d have known that,” Yao said, “I probably wouldn’t taken those shots in the fourth quarter.”
